Our History

A Legacy of Compassionate Senior Care in New Orleans

Since 1889, St. Margaret’s Family of Care has built one of New Orleans’ most trusted legacies in senior health. What began as a single mission of service to vulnerable populations has grown into a comprehensive network of care — spanning skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation services, hospice partnerships, pharmacy, and a Foundation committed to meeting the needs of our elders for generations to come.

Following in the footsteps of Saint Margaret of Scotland, we serve the elderly with a spirit that transcends the standard of senior healthcare.

Our Mission

We Care for the Whole Person

St. Margaret's Family of Care supports seniors in their physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being through integrated healthcare with a genuine heart for service. Our mission is not simply clinical — it is deeply human.

Physical Wellbeing

Expert skilled nursing, therapy, and medical support ensure residents receive the highest standard of clinical care in a warm, home-like environment.

Spiritual Wellbeing

Rooted in Catholic values and inspired by Saint Margaret of Scotland, we honor the spiritual dimension of each resident's life with dignity and reverence.

Emotional Wellbeing

Our household model fosters genuine community and connection — ensuring seniors experience joy, purpose, and belonging every single day.

Our Inspiration

Inspired by Saint Margaret of Scotland

Our namesake, Saint Margaret of Scotland, inspired our founders with her tireless, compassionate service to vulnerable populations. Her acts of dedication and mercy became the living model for how we approach skilled nursing and therapeutic care in New Orleans.

Following in her footsteps, we serve the elderly with a spirit that transcends conventional healthcare standards. It is a spirit that permeates our entire network — operating at every level of our care team, and felt by every resident and family member who walks through our doors.
